In Reply to: RE: New mod for VPI 3D arm posted by Tre' on August 25, 2016 at 11:26:09
I never had a real problem with wobble until I tried the 3D printed arm and then the wobble was obvious while the cartridge was tracking off center and / or warped records. When I went back to my older version JMW-10, I had no issue with wobbling and I think it's because of the fluid damping. It's a shame the latest arms offer no such option.

Waxxy....what cartridge are you using....and are you very sure all your setup adjustments are good? My 3D is rock stable....the arm is internally damped...no need for external damping.
I used a Koetsu, 47 Labs, and Dyna Karat. Aligned using either VPI's jig or a Dr. Feickert alignment tool.
BTW, the internal damping of the tonearm material and fluid damping of the motion of the arm are two separate things completely. The arm material and internal damping is to control the resonance of the arm itself, while fluid damping is used to control the motion of the arm / cartridge combination.
I wasn't aware of that fact.
Maybe a mod to include fluid damping would be more fitting?
